Sample Script
Hello,
My name is [insert name], and I am calling to express my concerns regarding the End-
of-Life Options Act and ask Representative [last name] to vote NO on SB1950.
SB1950 is a last-minute attempt to pass Physician Assisted Suicide without having a full
conversation on such an important issue in the House. This bill does not include
mandatory psychological evaluations to screen for depression or a mechanism or
agency responsible for investigating coercion, which puts people with disabilities and
people of color at risk.
Question: Does Representative [last name] have a stance on this issue?
I am deeply concerned that this legislation is moving forward while Illinois’ health
system is inadequate. Please vote NO on SB1950 and instead promote investment in
accessible health care, including preventative, palliative, and hospice care. Thank you
for your time. |
